Up until I think last year, you needed to buy the whole premium 2 package (at $6k ish) to get xenon head lights in an E350, and the standard lights (even with P1) are just plain crap. Audi on the other hand charges for their LEDs but the standard lights without the LEDs I believe are good.
What makes their base lighting package sub-standard and inadequate? They may not be as nice as HIDs, but I would guess that most people with the standard headlights are driving around at night without any problems.
